Third Floor

The third floor originally had two bedrooms connected by a bathroom and dressing room. The front room served as Charles Hammond Gibson, Sr.'s bedroom until his death in 1916. Charles Jr. redecorated the room and used it as his private study, where he sat at the desk between the windows and wrote his books and poetry.

Rosamond Gibson's bedroom, the largest in the house, features a fourteen-piece bedroom set that was a wedding gift from her parents. The "mock bamboo" bedroom set is of bird's-eye maple. This reflects the Japanese aesthetic that was popular in the late nineteenth century. Personal items and family portraits are on display.

The plumbing fixtures in the bathroom (toilet, tub, and sink) date from 1902. This floor of the house had cold running water in 1859; hot water would have been brought up by the servants. Plumbing has been extended and there is now a full bathroom on each floor above this one. This was not always the case. Initially, the water pressure was not sufficient to bring water higher than the third floor.
